More than a hundred miles outside Yancheng.
A battle had just ended here, and Yan Gui led 20,000 soldiers to chase here and engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy's 30,000-strong army.
At this moment, the air was filled with smoke and dust, and there were fallen bodies and blood everywhere.
"Ding Er, you take 2,000 people as the vanguard and explore the front."
"Yes, General." Ding Er led two thousand men to mount their horses and set off first.
"Ding Si, take two people and stay behind to clean up the battlefield."
"Yes, General." Ding Si gathered two thousand people to start cleaning the battlefield, collecting weapons, and collecting the bodies of our soldiers.
"Ding Wu..." Yan Gui paused slightly. Ding Wu was left to Wei Yang by him, and he didn't know where they went.
"Yan Yu, you take 5,000 soldiers as the center and set off immediately."
"Yes, General." Yan Yu bowed and left.
"Yanyun, what do you say, we should chase for another 300 miles?"
Yan Gui turned around and looked at his beloved general beside him. When he left Yancheng, it was Yan Yun and Yan Yu who helped him defend Yancheng.
"General, we have already chased them for nearly 200 miles. It will be dangerous if we continue to chase them."
Yan Yun took a step forward, half-knelt in front of Yan Gui, and spoke frankly.
"What if we reach Xiongzhou City now? Is it feasible?"
"Absolutely not." The deputy general at the side hurriedly spoke up to stop them: "Our army has been fighting till today and is exhausted. If we march towards Xiongzhou now, it will easily lead to a loss of morale, which is a taboo in military strategy."
"Then, is it feasible to send 10,000 troops to split up and pursue them for another 300 miles?"
The color of Yan Gui's armor was no longer visible, and it was covered with stains. His cape was also tattered and torn.
"Yes. I am willing to lead the troops to pursue them. Please return to defend Yancheng."
Yan Yun stood up and accepted the order, wanting to persuade Yan Gui to go back. The general came back from the capital and went to the battlefield without stopping. It has been seven days today and he has not closed his eyes properly.
"Yanyun, I can't wait." Yan Gui looked towards the capital. My beloved girl is still on her way. I want to pacify the enemy one day earlier so that I can pick her up one day earlier.
I wonder if she suffered a lot along the way, whether she had enough to eat and wear, whether she was frightened, and whether she was afraid.
"If we don't beat them into submission, they will definitely come to harass us again and attack us frequently. This time, I will make sure they don't dare to come to fight for ten years."
Yan Gui withdrew his gaze from behind him, looked at the barren fields ahead, and spoke in a low voice.
"If the general wants to fight, then let's fight. When have our Yan army ever been afraid?" Yan Yun said loudly.
He and his three brothers were all rescued and adopted by General Yan, who named them Fengyu Leidian. The general had given them a second life, and Yan Gui had a brotherly relationship with them.
"Okay." Yan Gui laughed loudly and looked at the land in front of him, but his tiger eyes were filled with tears.
Due to years of war, no one dares to live here anymore, and the fertile fields that once existed are now overgrown with weeds.
How many people were displaced
How many elders left their hometowns.
How many children have lost their parents and relatives.
"I, Yan Gui, swear here today that I will not return to Yancheng until I have killed the enemy for 500 miles."
Yan Gui knelt on one knee and let out a loud roar.
The voice of the soldiers behind him sounded like thunder: "I, the soldiers of Daxia, swear here today that I will not return to Yancheng until I kill the enemy for 500 miles."
"I will not return to Yancheng until I have killed the enemy for 500 miles."
"I will not return to Yancheng until I have killed the enemy for 500 miles."
"I will not return to Yancheng until I have killed the enemy for 500 miles."
... ...
The voices of the soldiers behind him became louder and louder, and finally reached the sky like thunder.
The mountains and rivers were shaken and the sun and moon were dimmed.
